In a video shared by ABS-CBN News on the social media platform ‘X’, one can see a person wearing a hooded sweatshirt, presumably Ms. Li Ong, being assisted into an ambulance assigned at the House of Representatives.
Ms. Li Ong is currently detained House detention facility after being cited for contempt for refusing to answer the questions of lawmakers.
The report did not mention as to what hospital was Ms. Li Ong taken or whether she will stay there for the duration of the hearing.
Alice Leal Guo is the Mayor of the Municipality of Bamban, Tarlac. She won as mayor during the national elections in 2022. She became known nationwide after her name was dragged into the ongoing Senate investigations regarding Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations or (POGO) and the alleged proliferation of illegal immigrants. Her name has been the subject of many online memes since then.
it can be recalled that Sheila Guo and Cassandra Li Ong arrived in the Philippines more than two weeks ago after they were arrested by Indonesian Immigration officials and deported back to the country. Shiela is the sister of the dismissed Bamban Mayor while Ong is the incorporator of Lucky South 99, which operates the illegal POGO in Pampanga. The two are back in the country after their arrest in Indonesia.
Recently, dismissed Mayor Alice Guo was herself arrested in Indonesia, though some authorities of that country are said to be leaning towards a prisoner exchange in the case of the embattled official. According to news sources gathered by GMA, the Indonesian government would like to exchange Alice Guo for a Philippine prisoner who is also wanted in Indonesia. The report further stated that the case of the dismissed official is different from that of Cassandra Li-Ong and Sheila Guo, who were swiftly sent back to the Philippines after their arrest by Indonesian Immigration officers. GMA News also showed what appeared to be a screengrab of an Indonesian news site with headlines that suggest the Indonesian National Police is now negotiating with Philippine authorities on the possibility of a prisoner exchange.
